You'll Be Green with Envy Over These Ten Vintage Finds!

Shakespeare described envy as "the green sickness" in Anthony And Cleopatra and mentions a "green-eyed monster" in Othello. And haven't we all been caught by the bug at one time or another? Maybe you were struck over a car, a home, a promotion, or even something as silly as a to-die-for dress. But have you tried wrapping yourself in green without the envy? Any one of these fabulous vintage finds is a fine way to wear the color of nature (and the color of money!). Not too fond of lime green? That doesn't mean you won't love something in fern, moss, or pine. Not ready to step out in green from head to toe? Try adding just a touch in a clutch, a pendant or earrings. Just click the slideshow and get inspired!

The Perfect Eye Makeup for YOUR Eye Color!

With so many eye makeup choices out there, sometimes it's hard to know where to begin! Well, as always, we've got you covered. You just have to know which shades work best for your individual eye color. If you have a pair of beautiful baby blues, go dark and smoky with some kohl eyeliner by Chanel to really make them pop. If you have those enviable green or hazel eyes, try purple shadow or even mascara, like the new one by Benefit. And if you're a classic brown-eyed girl, why not try a wash of ethereal blue or a trendy bright for a great contrast! For a basic go-to, pick up a nude and brown eye palette, fabulous for any eye color. And here's a sly trick to make any pair instantly bigger and brighter... just line the inner rims of your eyes with a shimmery white pencil. Voila! Now check out the slideshow for my five favorite eye makeup products in the Hive - and grab the ones that are perfect for YOUR eye color!

A percentage of the proceeds go to the Alliance for Climate Protection, an organization whose goal is to provide comprehensive solutions for the climate crisis. The organic cotton sweaters are soft and perfect for layering, but my favorite has to be the vest made out of %100 recycled t-shirts. Get them now at Barney's Co-Op stores and online at barneys.com!

Cool Stuff Made of Reclaimed Wood!

From furniture to home accessories to jewelry, artisans and even mainstream companies are now making objects from one of the greenest materials available: reclaimed wood. Reclaimed wood can come from a variety of sources--dilapidated homes, barn beams, and rail road tracks, to name a few--and its use keeps manufacturers from further depleting our world's forests. What's so great about that? Deforestation is one cause of global warming, not to mention all of the wildlife, ecosystems, and biodiversity that are harmed by clearing our forests. So, do the world a favor and shop for products made out of reclaimed, recycled, or sustainably harvested wood! Need some ideas? Check out my slideshow of cool products made with reclaimed wood!

Don't Be A Hard Rock When You Really Are A Gem...Like An Emerald!

Want to turn heads and make them green with envy? Investing in emeralds is certainly one way to do that. Want the same gemmy green bling sans the hefty price tag? Consider tsavorite, a green variety of grossular garnet mined near Tsavo National Park in Africa, or chrome diopside, mined mostly around Siberia and described by the International Colored Gemstone Association as "a beautiful gem with an ugly name... [that] sounds more like car polish than a gemstone." Tsavorite and chrome diopside are both a brilliant, verdant green to rival any emerald and without being "enhanced" with oils or resins, a common trade practice with emeralds. It IS easy being green (unless you're Kermit the Frog), just check out my SLIDESHOW to see why!

Eco Style: Shake Your Booties The Environmentally Friendly Way

I've never been a summer wardrobe kind of girl. You might say that I endure summer fashion. How strange is that coming from someone who has lived in sunny Southern California her whole life?! But, I relish the time when the seasons change and we move into cooler weather and...wait for it...BOOTS! I love boots and there is no question that boots, short and tall, fun and elegant, are in for fall. They're everywhere and eco fashion designers are getting it so right this season. With Stella McCartney and Cri de Coeur leading the way earning two of my picks, here are 10 of my favorite eco-friendly and vegan boots to help you get a jump on the season. An educational note: There is a difference between an eco-friendly shoe and a vegan shoe. Vegan means that absolutely no animal products are used, but the materials are not necessarily sustainable. Call it socially responsible. Eco friendly means the materials used are either recycled, vegetable tanned leathers (as opposed to chemically tanned) or other sustainable textiles. Click on the SLIDESHOW to shop them all, and for more great eco fashion, go to whiteapricot.com.
